My mom and I are toying with the idea of filing for her once I get my citizenship because my brother and I are here already and she wants to watch my son.. She does have a 10-yr tourist visa so she visits me frequently. I was just wondering what the average time is lately for processing this kind of visa? We wouldn't qualify for any Haiyan expedite or anything because we were not affected in Manila. Is it taking over a year?

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png
